    Minute Motivators for Weight Loss - Stan Toler

    Toler…

    Introduction

    Man does not live by celery alone!

    Food alone doesn’t make a diet. Right food choices are just one part of a successful diet plan. The other ingredients include direction, determination, and discernment. Dieting isn’t just about what goes into your mouth. It’s also about what goes into your mind.

    Minute Motivators for Weight Loss will be your friend as you make wise decisions about your lifestyle, good choices about your future, and a careful evaluation of yourself.

    Written with a lite touch, this book will enlarge your spirit as you reduce your calories.

    Stan Toler

    Dieting is a lifelong journey.

    Tough diets never last, but tough dieters do.

    —Mark Hollingsworth

    CHOICES

    A diet doesn’t last for two weeks or two months.

    It isn’t just about getting into that new dress or that new pair of pants for your twenty-fifth high school reunion. You know, the one where you’ll meet those classmates you envisioned as being tiny as a twig—only to discover they’ve added a few rings around the trunk as well!

    You’re on a diet your whole life. Every bite you take is part of your daily diet—your necessary intake of food. So the diet you choose has to be one that will last—one that will keep you healthy for the long haul. Dieting is a series of daily choices that ultimately will be measured by how much you weigh and, in some cases, how long you live. What you decide about your dietary options today will directly affect your dietary requirements five, ten, or twenty years from now. In other words, brownies today, bulges tomorrow!

    Don’t try to cram a lifetime of good eating into one month. Choose eating habits that will last as long as you do.

    Consult a doctor before you diet.

    My doctor has advised me to give up those intimate little dinners for four, unless, of course, there are three other people eating with me.

    —Orson Welles

    CAUTION

    Don’t jump on the fad-diet bandwagon. Man does not live by celery alone! Horror stories abound of fad dieters who have harmed their bodies—or lost their lives—by ignoring their need for a holistic approach to losing weight.

    A little boy was asked what he would do when he got big like his daddy. He quickly replied, Stop eating jelly donuts! Common sense is just as important as carbohydrates. You don’t have to give up reasoning just because you gave up coconut cream pie. Caution is in order. You’ve heard the expression, Don’t try this at home. It just may be that home isn’t the best place to start a diet. Maybe it should be started at the doctor’s office. Start with a professional opinion about weight loss, not the advice on page one of the inquiring-mind magazines at the grocery checkout counter.

    Get the whole-health view. Be sure that your body’s need for nutrition will be met, even as you reduce your intake. In other words, proceed with caution.

    Say no-no to yo-yo dieting.

    No food tastes as good as the food you eat when you’re cheating on a diet.

    —Derl Keefer

    STABILITY

    If you have two sections in your closet marked before and after, then maybe it’s time to swear off yo-yo dieting. You know you can’t live on turtle toenails forever! Up-and-down dieting is bad for your body, worse for your spirit. Avoid the temptation to shed a few pounds quickly on a diet that you can’t sustain. Yo-yo dieting leads to frustration as you realize, I always gain it right back. Easy off leads to easy on.

    Take the long view; think months, not days. I’m in this for the long ‘overhaul.’ That late-night infomercial spokesperson with the simonized white teeth and the fifteen-inch waist may say she lost twenty pounds in two weeks, but she may not be talking about pounds. She might mean her basset hound ran away! Stability is key to successful dieting.

    Adopt a plan that will meet your desire to be fit next year, not just your desire to look good next week. If you’re going to hide the Gummi bears, then burn that map to their den!

    To diet means to do it!

    A window of opportunity won’t open itself.

    —David M. Vaughn

    RESOLVE

    Dieting is a fifty-fifty proposition: 50 percent will and 50 percent won’t. It’s like deciding not to drive the wrong way on a one-way street. You make an on-the-spot decision based on the fear that your new pearl necklace won’t fit around a neck brace.

    Not only does dieting require an act of the won’t, it requires an act of the will. Don’t be fooled by fad diets that promise results without effort. To change your diet means to change your way of life. And that
